So How Big Of A Scam Are Supply Caches?

So why do you bother Piranha with this at all? If you are scamming us, don't you feel a little ashamed?
It's not a 1 in 8 chance to win anything in the crate is it? It's on some kind of State Fair Carney odds? Where you toss in the ball to win the 5 foot tall rabbit, and spend $15.. and you get a 3" chew toy?
Would South Park call Shenanigans on this? I think they would. If you need the money so badly.. why not just tell us upfront and skip all of the nonsense with this scam?
Sincerely, proud new owner of a SRM 4, 6, IS pulse laser, 3 small rocks and a lint bunny.

What we don't know is the probability for each item in the crate, so we would have to assume that there is a steep curve of getting the better items, take a mech for instance, it will probably be done so that the chance to get a mech will on average take more MC worth of keys than MC to buy said mech.

He won a mechbay and was pretty happy about it.
Before you open a crate, you have to ask yourself one question:
"Do I feel lucky?"
Well, do 'ya, punk?

But still paying real money for stuff you can buy with CBills or get just by playing, really not worth it.
supply caches are only good for selling them for that 50k.

But without empty mechbays c-bills are pretty much worthless.

Try 5-10 $ rng crates in archeage for example, then you can feel scammed.

Same can be said of most F2P games, but then those games would die off if everyone is patient. Pay for convenience is a thing. After all, every moment of life can be measured with money.

Well now, it is gambling, a scam, ripoff, whatever only because that person did not get exactly what they wanted out of the box.
Go read the posts. Majority are; "I wanted the MC/Mech Bay/Mech and I got something else. It's gambling, scam, ripoff, whatever."

You should get 1-9 for each supply cache you sell, so that you are able to buy a supply key for selling 3-25 supply caches !
I think 5 would be a FAIR PRICE for each supply cache you sell, so that you can get a supply key for selling 5 supply caches.

In most F2P games you have the choice between opening the thing or destroying it to free up inventory space, be grateful that you can sell them at all.
